The output of the phase detector is configured to input a phase difference between the two input signals to the filter by the charge pump to generate a control voltage, and supply the control voltage to the voltage controlled oscillator. When the phase-locked loop needs to lock an output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator, the phase inversion reading wipes off the connection with the charge pump, so that the control voltage generated from the electric evaluator can be transferred to - A fixed value. When the power supply of the electric county is interrupted, the leakage current of the electric county towel will enter the domain wave device and change the control voltage of the voltage-controlled shock absorber, thus causing the shock (4) output frequency misalignment .

The second selector 220 is coupled between the transistor M3 and a second supply voltage GND for use as the AND gate 112, and includes three transistors M5 M M7, which are respectively selected by the signal VSEL2 and the reverse feedback signal. Vbp and reference signal \^ are controlled. The third selector 230 is coupled between the transistor M4 and the second supply voltage GND to serve as the AND gate 114, and includes three transistors M8 M1010, which are respectively selected by the signal VSEL2, the reverse reference signal νφ, and The feedback signal is controlled by Vbn. The selection signal generator 116 controls the second selector 220 and the third selector 230 by using the selection signal VSEL2. When the logic value of the selection signal VSEL2 is T, the charge pump 120 is connected to the phase detection no, and the capacitance Ci is According to the current Ijjp / Iqo ^ ^ charge and discharge; when the logic value of the selection signal VSEL2, 0,, the charge pump 120 and the phase detector 110 are disconnected, in an ideal case, the control signal Vctrl will be maintained At a fixed value. Please note that when the logic value of the selection signal VSEL2 is switched from T, T, to 0, the transistor M1 may not be completely turned off due to the residual voltage at the node Nm, in other words 'here At the same time, if the transistor M1 still has a small current, the voltage level of the control signal Vctrl may be affected. Considering the above factors which may cause the transistor M1 not to be completely turned off, in the circuit 2〇〇_ of the present invention, the delay selection unit 204 delays the reference selection signal vSEI>X to generate the selection signal VSEL2, that is, the selection signal VSEL2 falls behind. Select the signal 201103242 VSEL, VSEL1. Therefore, when the logic value of the selection signal VSEL2 is switched from "1" to ",", the first selector 210 and the fourth selector 240 are turned off at the second selector 220 and the third selector 230. It has been turned off (the connection between the transistor M1 and the first supply voltage Vdd is interrupted), so no current is stored in the transistor M1, so that even if the transistor M1 has not been completely turned off, the control signal \^& The voltage level of 1 will not be affected. Note that in the circuit 200, the first selector 21A and the fourth selector 240 are both transmission gates and are controlled by the selection signals VSEL, VSEU. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first selector 210 and the fourth selector 240 may also be implemented by other circuit designs, such as a single N-type MOS transistor or a P-type MOS transistor. It is only necessary to select one of the signals VSEL, VSELI to control (if only the signal VSEL needs to be selected, the inverter 202 can be removed). These design variations are also within the scope of the invention. In addition, please note that in the circuit 200, all of the transistors M1 M M10 are MOS transistors, however, in another embodiment of the invention, the circuit 2 〇〇 can also be a bi-carrier junction transistor ( Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is implemented (such as MOS transistor Ml~M10 replaced by a double-carrier junction transistor)' and after reading the above description, the general knowledge in the field should be easily understood. How to implement the design circuit disclosed by the present invention by using a dual-carrier junction transistor, therefore, for the sake of brevity of the description, the detailed description is omitted here. In addition, in the circuit 200, the transistors M3 and M4 are optional devices, which can be removed according to different design requirements; that is, the transistors M1 and M2 can be directly coupled to the second selector respectively. 220 and a third selector 230; in addition, the fourth selector 240 is also an optional device and can be removed.
